Here's a hi-res scan of some leaves from a tree, about 25-feet tall,
that is growing next to, and over, the sidewalk in a NW New Jersey
town.
I cannot find this leaf pattern in my Audubon Eastern US tree field
guide.
There are 7 leaves to a leaf cluster.

Can anyone ID it?

Just to be sure, dry out a few leaves & pop them in your dusty old bong  |

A mail artist, Mike D., sends out pieces of mail with leaves laminated to
the envelops. Because he'd frequently sent out envelopes with spidery
maple leaves attached, the federal postal authority began to investigate
him, & he would even see the post's criminal investigators parked on his
street monitoring his comings & goings.

"Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher.
"Oh, sir! The flowers, they are wild," replied the timid creature.

I'm sure it's a japanese maple as well. Other marijuana look-alikes include
Vitex and some other species - but vitex would be only marginally hardy in
your area, and not likely to reach 25 feet in any area of the US. |

For pictures of a bunch in my garden, take a look at
http://www.rhodo.citymax.com/maples.html - amazing range of colours and shapes. |

Great site Bill, thanks to you and Pam for the super education. I now
know more than I could have guessed I could learn on this subject.
Cheers, QE in NJ

It looks exactly like a tree I have that is called down here a Coral Tree
for the color of the small blooms and the seed pods. Grow very easily from
the seed pods, so I have several of these trees around the yard.
